What does Onde Extase smell like?

It is floral, sweet and powdery, with jasmine, mimosa and narcissus at the front. Bergamot adds a light freshness and pink pepper draws a spicy edge. Sesame leans the sweetness toward the oriental, while oakmoss and cedar give it a woody depth.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. Evening wear comes slightly ahead, but it is also worn for daily use and at work. It reads feminine and classic. Dior Ambre Nuit and Guerlain Samsara have a close profile.
